Topic: any info on this vin (Read 3005 times)

i have a 68 camaro ,red car ,red interior and a blue convertible top, power top,power windows, tick toc tack,tilt wheel, gauges ,even a what looks like a dealer installed cruz control, can someone tell me is this a one off color option or are there others like tis out there and how an i tell if this is a SS 350 ? and can i tell from the vin numbers?

Yes, the car is in the DB from February of 2010. Can you send me a picture of the POP? I'd like to add it. The POP will also tell you what engine, transmission, axle, options, etc... originally came with the car, so post it and we can tell you if it was a 350 or not. The db says that it is, but the original engine is gone.

The steel plate for the '69 is your Protect-O-Plate. You will have to de-code it like the trim tag. It will tell you exactly what your car was equipped with from the factory. On '68 model without P-O-P, paper work or original drive train you are just about out of any luck knowing what it actually was. Sure you have traces of possibilities as to what it might have been but that's all; possibilities.

ok thanks ,, is there info listed for decoding my 69 pop that i can check out ?

Here it is. It's a little confusing to start with but just study it, read and re-read. The information is printed/stamped into the steel backward so it will be beneficial if you held it up to a mirror and wrote the information down on paper.

thanks ,yes it was .hmmmmm a patriot camaro ? im from grand rapids mi and thats near were i bought the car so im contacting one of the sales people that have been with Berger Chevrolet for a long time to see if he knows any of such a special order car ?
